Bangalore, India 1991. Ashok Rao, a young doctor, has returned home from England to choose a bride.
But who is the intriguing Englishwoman who seeks him out? Why is she afraid and what is the secret that binds them together?

It is also a breath-taking adventure tale played out in the mystical lands of Southern India and Sri Lanka and in the icy countryside of winter England.
